Just curious how you found this site. Also did recent publicity on CBS, USA and CNN have anything to do with searching for it? Also welcome aboard!

I actually found out through a co-worker, never had heard of it before.

OOOPSSS, I see that you asked newbies, lol...although sometimes I still think of myself as one. Sorry! :P

No apology necessary. Actually anyone can answer. I myself found it by searching my symptoms shortly before my diagnosis last year. I just did not find it soon enough.

I was told by my nutritionist. I actually think she referred me to the celiac.com site, and I found the forum from there :) Glad I did too!

After reading Brostoff's Food Allergies and Food Intolerances book, I was looking for tests to supplement what I was trying to accomplish with a food elimination diet. Found the Enterolab website and then was googling to find out what people had to say about their tests and that is what led me here!

I'm not a newbie either, but my doctor told me about the website. Her daughter had celiac disease.

Well, since you don't have to be a newbie...

I stumbled onto the board about 4 months after I was diagnosed. I was researching an ingredient in my digestive enzymes, and came upon a discussion about it here. :)

My mom saw the CBS show and she called me. She told me it what she saw mimiced much of what my daughter and I have been going through for years! We have had bloodwork done and sent to promethius labs and are still waiting for results! I found your site via the web when I began my research.

I did a search about gluten intolerance on Google and this place came up. I started reading some and found a lot of good information and VERY friendly people. So I signed up. I think I wouldn't have done half as well without this place. :)

I found this site when I was ordering food from the Gluten Free Mall, I was looking around the web site and noticed Message Board links... and since I am a message board junkie I thought, hmmmmm I just HAVE to check THIS out!

I found the Gluten Free Mall through Google.

I found this site after googling "Celiac Disease". My mom mentioned I might have it since I was having chronic diarrhea. I think she might have it too, but she doesn't seem to want to get tested (not that testing always works).

I found celiac.com when I googled celiac disease.

I'm really wondering whether some of our current newbies are here as a result of any of the recent publicity on celiac disease.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By sleuth · Posted

      He is not just a psychiatrist.  He is also a neuroscientist.  And yes, I have already read those studies.   I agree with benfotiamine.  This is short term while glutened/inflammation occurs.  As I had already mentioned, these symptoms no longer exist when this phase passes.  And yes, I know that celiac is a disease of malnutrition.  We are working with a naturopath.

      Nicotine Gum For Gluten Symptoms.. Am I Crazy?

      By knitty kitty · Posted

      Please do more research before you settle on nicotine. Dr. Paul New house is a psychiatrist.  His latest study involves the effect of nicotine patches on Late Life Depression which has reached no long term conclusions about the benefits.   Effects of open-label transdermal nicotine antidepressant augmentation on affective symptoms and executive function in late-life depression https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39009312/   I'm approaching the subject from the Microbiologist's point of view which shows nicotine blocks Thiamine B1 uptake and usage:   Chronic Nicotine Exposure In Vivo and In Vitro Inhibits Vitamin B1 (Thiamin) Uptake by Pancreatic Acinar Cells https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/26633299/   While supplementation with thiamine in the form Benfotiamine can protect from damage done by  nicotine: Benfotiamine attenuates nicotine and uric acid-induced vascular endothelial dysfunction in the rat https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/18951979/   I suggest you study the beneficial effects of Thiamine (Benfotiamine and TTFD) on the body and mental health done by Dr. Derrick Lonsdale and Dr. Chandler Marrs.  Dr. Lonsdale had studied thiamine over fifty years.   Hiding in Plain Sight: Modern Thiamine Deficiency https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC8533683/ I suggest you read their book Thiamine Deficiency Disease, Dysautonomia, and High Calorie Malnutrition.     Celiac Disease is a disease of malabsorption causing malnutrition.  Thiamine and benfotiamine: Focus on their therapeutic potential https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10682628/

      Thanks for your response.  Everything you mentioned he is and has been doing.  Tobacco is not the same as nicotine.  Nicotine, in the form of a patch, does not cause gastrointestinal irritation.  Smoking does. He is not smoking.  Please do your research before stating false information. Dr. Paul Newhouse has been doing research on nicotine the last 40 years at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.

      Im so frustrated and still getting the run around trying to reprove my celiac disease which my past primary ignored for 25 years.I understand that theres a ray of medical that doctors are limited too but not listening and telling the patient ( me) that im not as sensitive as I think and NOT celiac!Correction Mr white coat its not what I think but for cause and affect and past test that are not sticking in my medical records.I get sick violently with foods consumed, not eating the foods will show Im fabulous. After many blood draws and going through doctors I have the HLA- DQ2 positive which I read in a study that Iran conducted that the severity in celiac is in that gene.Im glutenfree and dealing with related issues which core issue of celiac isn't addressed. My skin, right eye, left leg diagestive issues affected. I have high blood pressure because im in pain.Im waisting my time on trying to reprove that Im celiac which is not a disease I want, but unfortunately have.It  has taken over my life personally and professionally. How do I stop getting medically gaslight and get the help needed to bounce back if I ever do bounce back to normal? I thought I was in good care with " celiac specialist " but in her eyes Im good.Im NOT.Sibo positive, IBS, Chronic Fatigue just to name a few and its all related to what I like to call a ghost disease ( celiac) since doctors don't seem to take it seriously.
